George Bunnell mentioned at least a few times how SAC were severely manipulated by the suits at MCA/UNI.I know they absolutely abhorred having to do "Good Morning Starshine",a tune they were pressured into doing by the republican scoundrels in the front office.I have a feeling the same thing happened with the Lemon Pipers,whose talents far exceeded the bubblegum dizziness of the rather juvenile "Green Tambourine",a case at least somewhat solidified by jams such as "Fifty Year Void",their first album closer.I must say you certainly possess serious musical wisdom well beyond your years.I thought I was a bit young for this site when I first joined at 39 or 40!But then,if one is indeed very serious about his music,age is meaningless.After all,were any of these classical music buffs around in the times of Beethoven or Mozart?!

: thanks man, I'm only 30 but I've listened to
: Woodstock era music for nearly 20 years, and
: have played 3 instruments for almost as
: long. In 2010, I was in a group that did
: marathon live jams based around The World On
: Fire, sometimes paired up with Beatles
: Tomorrow Never Knows.... I have the benefit
: of being able to look back into the past
: through websites and books. One of those
: "hindsight is 20/20" things. I
: "discovered" S.A.C. after hearing
: their name mentioned on TV on "THE
: WONDER YEARS"; Kevin started a band
: called the Electric Shoes and someone said
: it "didn't make sense". He said
: "SAC didn't make sense. Vanilla Fudge
: didn't make sense". Great TV show.
: I've heard all their studio albums multiple
: times, not sure why the never really caught
: on other than their record label just saw a
: bunch of young kids they could rip-off for a
: quick one-hit wonder and never gave the band
: a second thought after that. Blues For A
: Young Girl should have been a top 20 hit for
: sure. But music was changing. SAC sounded
: too much like Association and Turtles when
: they should have been sounding like Iron
: Butterfly and Jimi.

: Hello Sir Cordwick!
: I most admire your insights into 60's
: culture.In the terms of many a youth in
: those days,you seem enlightened and
: "tuned in" to certain realities
: that seem to elude many due to their
: ignorance and shallowness.I wholeheartedly
: agree that there always exists only a rather
: pathetically small percentage of world
: population that truly acknowledges and duly
: appreciates truly good and meaningful
: art.Especially these days.......
